We feel very fortunate to have found Canal House on Airbnb. Of the four places we stayed in Bangkok, this place stood out by far, not just comfortable lodging, but also as a rich cultural experience. It is nestled in a charming neighborhood, and next to a way. There's a charming locals restaurant two doors down, and several excellent soup restaurants and coffee shops nearby. The deck overhangs the canal where we would relax for hours, watching the longtail boats, monitor lizards, catfish, and birds. The house is spotless and nicely decorated. Both bedrooms have AC and fans. It was a pleasure to meet our host Ohm, who is energetic, charming, generous, and entrepreneurial. The longtail boats have massive diesel motors that are quite loud but they do not run at night. Expect to be woken sometime after 7am, which was fine with us. By all means, stay at Canal House if want want lodging and a host that connects you to local Thai experiences.
